Survivor

It's been six years since the hit TV show wrapped up, but Friends is still the most watched TV show of the decade.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the show's 2004 finale is the highest-rated broadcast in America since 2000. 52.5 million viewers tuned in to watch Rachel, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Ross say goodbye.

The series, which launched the careers of Jennifer Aniston and Courteney Cox, ran for a decade between 1994 and 2004.

Friends took the cake but Survivor came in at a close second with 51.7 million viewers. Believe it or not Joe Millionaire was third with its 2003 show getting an audience of 40 million.

E.R., American Idol, Grey's Anatomy, Frasier and Spin City also made the top ten list. What was your favorite Friends episode?

The winner of 2001’s Survivor has been diagnosed with cancer. Ethan Zohn has just announced he’s been diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s disease.

The diagnosis came on April 30th after months of night sweats and itching. Doctors then found a swollen lymph node under his left clavicle. As soon as he found out, he began chemo.

Zohn is trying as best he can to stay positive about this. He tells People, "This is happening for a reason. You have to get spiritual about this [stuff]. I know I want to help people and inspire people. That's my purpose in life. So I need to use this as a platform."

Zohn seems like he’s keeping a great attitude about the terrible news. He went on to say, "I've got good family and friends, and I'll roll with the punches as it comes to me. That's how I work in life. I'll take it on like a real game of Survivor. I'm not getting voted out of this one."

We wish him the best of luck with his long road to recovery.

Survivor: Micronesia- Fans vs. Favorites @ 8pm
No one is playing the game better right now than former coach potato Cirie. Previously, she single-handedly gave Yau-Man the boot, and last week she orchestrated Joel's exit. Clearly, being smart and savvy are more beneficial than possessing pure brute strength. Tonight, however, the focus is on Jonathan, who is dealing with a serious infection. Will he stay or will he have to leave the game to get medical help? Meanwhile, Jason unwittingly becomes the victim in Ozzy's fake-idol ploy when he finds Ozzy's hand-carved creation on Exile Island.

Smallville @ 8pm
Kara and Jimmy go to a totally rockin' OneRepublic concert, and one of the roadies turns out to be none other than former Smallville townie Pete Ross. Unfortunately for Pete, he chews some kryptonite-laced gum and develops a bad case of superpowers. When Clark and Chloe meet up with their old friend, they warn Pete against using his newly acquired powers in public, but Lex gets wind of it. He then blackmails Pete into helping him break into Lionel's safe (man, those Luthors have serious trust issues) by threatening to reveal Chloe as a meteor freak.

Lost @ 9pm
One of the beauties of Lost is that when there's a major revelation — last week's was that the vaguely nefarious Charles Widmore owns the freighter — we're not surprised, just intrigued. Messrs. Cuse and Lindelof don't waste characters, so Widmore is merely back in action. We don't know why Penny's dad wants in on the island, but we certainly know why Jin and Sun (tonight's stars) want off: Jin's pregnant; not a good thing to be there. The episode's title, Ji Yeon, is a Korean girl's name, so can we assume they make it? Last week's tease promised that the last of the Oceanic 6 would be identified, so you do the math.

Make Me A Supermodel @ 10pm
It's a mod, mod, mod modeling world, particularly when the dirty half dozen got hip last week to brand management and vintage looks. They also celebrated hostess Niki Taylor's birthday with a homemade song, featuring the four male models crooning in tandem like a busted boy band. Our pretty "runway projects" try to stay in tune tonight with a jaunt to New Orleans for charity work. It won't be easy in the Big Easy when they participate in a cemetery shoot and a gothic catwalk show.

Talk about being 'giving' during the holiday season. Denise Martin, who is best known as the lunch lady on CBS' reality show 'Survivor: China' is donating the $50,000 she got from the show to the Pediatric AIDs Foundation.

Martin was originally granted the $50,000 after she got demoted from lunch lady to janitor at a school in Douglass, Mass., after finishing fourth on the show.

The producers of 'Survivor' gave her that money to help her get her life back on track, but she turned around and donated the entire amount. Talk about a heart of gold, I'm truly touched!

"I do not feel comfortable about accepting the $50,000. I would instead ask that it be donated to the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation," the statement said. "Please accept my apology. I would also like to thank all the people who have supported me through this experience."

Kudos to Martin!
